Mixed Bag & A Tribute To John Lee Hooker

10 p.m. to Midnight Host: Steve Winters

A real mixed bag of a program: A wonderful 10-minute ballad from
Atwater-Donnelly from nearby Rhode Island, music from outstanding
performers from the Pacific Northwest and two wry monologues from Les
Barker of England for the first hour.

In the second hour, I offered a final chorus for famous bluesman John Lee
Hooker who died in California June 21 at age 83. Hooker, with his signature
blues growl, enjoyed a 60-year career and was a major influence on
countless musicians. He was a contemporary of post-World War II electric
bluesmen Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Willie Dixon and Sonny Boy Williamson
and during his career was accorded major awards and recognition for his
contributions to American music.

The night finished with blues from new albums by Rick Fines of Ontario,
Canada and Jon Shain of North Carolina.
